The residents of Tendring ask the council to replace toilets that have been closed
Tendring District Council have been closing toilets that they say are open to abuse and not fit for purpose, they should replace them with new fit for purpose vandal proof single use toilets. These toilets were considered necessary in the past and are needed even more now
Why is this important?
The toilets that are being closed were considered necessary in the past when the population of Tendring was smaller, now it has increased. It is a basic human right to be able to use a toilet when one needs to, residents with health issues like IBS and prostate problems are being denied that basic human right along with postmen and women, other mobile workers and holiday makers. The impact on health of being made to wait to use a toilet, is well documented and the fear of not being able to find a toilet in time is increasing social isolation and loneliness amongst vulnerable people, this is turn leads to more health problems. Tendring District Council should now use the money that they have gained from land sales of the existing toilet closures to build new facilities, the residents of Tendring do not accept that this is not possible
